MatcomNews Update: DJ Gets Hatemail For Condi/Aunt Jemima Remark
<snip>

Since he called Secretary of State nominee Condoleezza Rice an "Aunt Jemima" and outgoing Secretary of State Colin Powell an "Uncle Tom" on his radio talk show Wednesday, Madison's John Sylvester has been taking angry e-mail from across the country, but he still has his job.


The story of his racially charged insults for members of the Bush administration raced across the Internet this week and was carried in most major newspapers and scores of TV affiliates and radio stations throughout the United States.

It also reached the White House. A senior administration official there returned a call about the matter but said they had no public comment about it.

This is the most exposure that Sylvester, known to his listeners as Sly, has ever received. In an interview Friday, he repeated that the only apology he was offering was one to Aunt Jemima.

1. I'm going to sue that DJ for calling Rice "Aunt Jemima".
It's making my pancakes taste funny. :)
